Everyone needs a little help sometimes on their journey toward mental well-being. I am here to create a safe environment that will support you on your path toward change. Whether you are seeking help for your family, your relationship, or yourself, I want to be on your team.
I have a therapeutic emphasis on systems (family, friends, relationships, community) and how these systems affect my clients. I have a passion for helping people conquer their past-trauma, family issues, personal struggles-and move into a free and peaceful future.
I am a culturally sensitive, LGBTQ+ affirming clinician. My style is direct while empathetic and supportive. I want my clients to be informed of and involved in the whole therapeutic process. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and look forward to working with you to help you reach your goals.
